Even Prithviraj Sukumaran is in all awe of Rishab Shetty's directorial and starrer, and he added, "2022 has seen some great work across the industry but one film that made me go, I wish that had happened from Malayalam. I wish I was a part of that, was Kantara."
The mighty visionary filmmaker SS Rajamouli, whose last directorial RRR secured two nominations in The Golden Globe Awards also spoke about Kantara's success and said, "Big budgets are something.. and suddenly Kantara comes in and looks at the numbers it is making. Suddenly, you do not need a big-scale film to do big numbers. Even a small film like Kantara can do that." He further added, "As an audience it is exciting, but as filmmakers, we need to go back and check what we are doing."
Rishab Shetty's Kantara is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video and the Hindi version on Netflix.
